Create a harmonious, joyful space with Vivechrom Colour of the Year

13 September 2022

Inspired by the natural buzz and biodiversity of meadows, prairies and wildflower fields, Buzz colors can bring a sense of vitality and joy to any room in your home.

Our Buzz palette takes inspiration from nature’s extraordinary ecosystems – think beautiful meadows that are home to grasses, wildflowers, butterflies and bees. Used in our homes, the vibrant colors in this palette create a rich, energetic space that feels playful and sparks joy.

Buzz shades are perfect for making bold statements and injecting personality into your home. Get creative with geometric shapes, create a dramatic contrast with split walls or highlight focal points in a room with clever color-blocking.

Try these four joyful decorating ideas using Vivechrom Colour of the Year, Wild Wonder^TM, and the Buzz palette.

Go graphic in the living room

Be bold in your living room by combining colors and playing with paint effects; the Buzz palette is all about the mix and match. Here, a circle painted in Wild Wonder^TM adds a joyful, unexpected element against a soft pink wall, adding to the warm and glowing feel.

Create contrast in the bedroom

Vibrant but harmonious, Buzz colors are made to work together, so get creative with a split wall feature. Here, a section picked out in soft pink defines the bed area, while the rest of the room is painted in Colour of the Year 2023, Wild Wonder^TM. It’s a combination that makes for a fun, warm and welcoming space.
